(A) An appeal may be taken from the officer charged with the enforcement of the Zoning Code by any person aggrieved or by an officer, department, or bureau of the city. The appeal shall be taken within the time as shall be prescribed by the Board by general rule, by filing with the officer from whom the appeal is taken and with the Board, a notice of appeal, specifying the grounds thereof. The officer from whom the appeal is taken shall forthwith transmit to the Board all of the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
(B) An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board after the notice of appeal has been filed with him that by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property, in which case the proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board or by a court of record on application, on notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken and on due cause shown.
(C) The Board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal and give due notice thereof to the parties and decide the same within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing, any party may appear in person, or by agent, or by attorney.
(D) All final administrative decisions of the Board of Appeals shall be subject to judicial review pursuant to the provisions of the “Administrative Review Act,” approved May 8, 1945, and all amendments and modifications thereof, and the rules adopted pursuant thereto.
